    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IWft9uctpc&amp;t=1020">17:00</a> it’s not in the bible but it’s called the Trojan horse. Basically they gave a gift of a giant horse they hid inside and when everyone was sleep, they came out and killed everyone

    I love this &quot;how I beat X opening&quot; idea, taking advantage of your video format. &nbsp;So many speedruns out there show how to play a named opening. &nbsp;But it has to be an opening they can get on the board frequently (often system openings or defenses against 1.e4 or 1.d4). &nbsp;This leaves a bunch of uncovered territory for stuff like this, since a traditional speedrun won&apos;t encounter the French enough to make a decent video. &nbsp;Getting to see a number of attacks against the French in quick succession is super helpful.
